Album art on mini?

I'm not getting any album art to appear on my mini. It shows up on iTunes and on my 60gb, but not the mini. Am I missing some setting?
Any help appreciated.

I wasn't aware that the minis had the capability of showing artwork?

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?
When I play from my phone and switch to the mini player it's always showing the music notes in the thumbnaill. It'd be nice if it could get album art off of the phone.
I'm on iTunes version 11.0.4.4

He @mracole,
it is very nice that you post a solution to complete the library with artwork for album's that do not have an artwork. Your solution perfectly addresses the problem for assigning artwork, BUT this thread is about CHANGING artwork for albums already uploaded into iTunes Match. Just try to replace for example a blue artwork cover for an album with a red one. If you made it in a simple way (without deleting the album from iTunes Match and local changes on the files with an external ID3-Application or 2 or more iTunes libraries on different Mac's) this is the right place to give a solution. I really tried for hours to change the artwork to make them visible in landscape cover flow mode on my iPhone5. In rare cases I made it, but then the covers sometimes where restored to the old onces - exacly how it is mentioned by Starhawk
As long as there is no simple way to change the cover of an iTunes Match stored album (you can change title, artist and so on without hitting "update iTunes Match" over all distributed Library on different devices - this date will be synchronized almost instantly) I considered the behaviour from iTunes as BUGGY! For me the local artwork cache (and if there is any iCloud artwork cache - I don't know) do not interfere with iCloud. Even when I delete the whole local cache (album artwork music - everything) I do not manage to change the artwork.

Why this new version of iTunes doesn't have Album Art or It didn't show up?

Why this new version of iTunes doesn't have Album Art or It didn't show up?
Also, in my iPod Touch 4th, it erase all album art from my iPod, then i tried to put again a new Album Art, ...download again from the image sites and still ...it didn't show up.? What a waste!
I waste all my time to set all album art on my iPod, then it just gone. kindly pls fix this issue. hate this new version of iTunes, so complicated.
The first thing i saw after i install new version of iTunes, it showed only music files. I don't know where to look for the old version of Sidebar. I keep on trying to look for it where I can see or any sign off button just to show up this stupid SideBar. Also, why i couldn't find? The "Menu Bar" is also hide!
Until i found out in "View" tab. Then i saw the Show Sidebar. Question? why do you need to hide that Side Bar? For what?. it is so so so complicated specially to those people who can't relate for this. (Also the button (from previous iTunes) to show the Album Art, now it's gone. I check every Tab, but there's no way to see the Album Art.)
Another comment. I download also some of my songs to my iPod, I wasted my time to collect all of my favorite music files. Also some are came from CD's and friends. I had all that favorite music in my iPod. Then the version iOS 5.+ came then I updated my iPod, another options to save files (iCloud) but I think there are something that I MISS about updating my iPod. Then suddenly I checked my iPod... all music (with Album Arts) are gone. All Apps are Gone. Videos as well.
If you don't know how to use that iCloud (with only 5GB storage), you'll gonna miss/lost everything.
Then I start all over again, i still have my BACK UP, good to have that. Now it's all set until I update the latest iOS 6. And another version of iTunes.
Then I realized my computer getting slow. I uninstalled it. My laptop started to work fast again. Then I download again the iTunes. So now I know, it has the ability to slow my computer. Everytime I turn on my iTunes, it hang. (Not Responding). Solution... CTRL+ALT+DELETE. Then every second time to open the iTunes, and it works. (it means, to open iTunes, need twice)
Then suddenly my laptop is not working. All my files has been corrupted. My Hard drive doesn't work properly. Now I don't have any stupid BACK UPs. My music files usage is 18 GB, only contacts, documents, notes, or some other files that can only fit to your "iCloud" not my 18GB music files and other photos. Your solution is to BUY more storage. Another COST! Another wasting time to set everything then need to pay more?
If you let your unit (iPod,iPhone,iPad) to export music to PC, or any mini SDcard to use as storage, it won't happen.
There is another....
It has Bluetooth, right?
Use less! Doesn't work. There's no way to use it.
All I need is to install an application to use your bluetooth. (for same unit or Apple unit only). And pictures only can send via Bluetooth if you an application.
Even if you go to "Photos" check if there's a way to send pictures? there is no way to send via Bluetooth, even Photos, Songs.etc. It can't even share some other friends (even they have own iPad, iPod, iPhone or same products) who has a unit with Bluetooth.
And the last.. only one port. there's no way to watch videos through HDMI. No HDMI port, no SD or any card slot. Must to buy their products.
Very costly!
I know (like iPod) it's very friendly to use it, but you must spend more money first before it can use.

Yes, the old album art view is gone, bu you can see the album art for a song that's playing by clicking on the art image and it will open a bigger view.
Everything else in your post is a waste. I'm not going to spend time reading it. If - and I repeat if, you have a question on how to get the best out of the new look iTunes, post it. But don't spend your time in long rambling negative rants.

How do I sync so that album art work in one library is copied over to another via home-sharing? Most of the artwork has been scanned and added by me.

I have three computers, each with its own iTunes Library, but if I add material to one, every few days I make sure that it's copied over to the others via homesharing. However, some of the metadata does not transfer, specifically the album art work. So on one library, call it my Home Library, everything is nice and tidy, with album artwork where it should be. On the other two, all the albums I've painstakingly made sure are complete on the home library are missing the art work.
Any thoughts? Tune Ranger and other iTunes maintenance apps don't seem to do the job, either. Coverscout, PowerTunes and Song Sargent also fail this task.

My understanding it iTunes handles artwork several ways. First, iTunes keeps a copy of all artwork in its artwork folder. Second, artwork can optionally be embedded in a media file. You can, for example, have an album where no artwork is actually in the files but all use a reference copy in the artwork folder. Even if a file has artwork embedded it may still use the version in the artwork folder.
Embedded artwork travels with the file when you copy the file.
I am hazy as to when exactly iTunes will embed artwork and when it won't. I believe, for example, if you use iTunes to fetch artwork it will not embed it, it will just place a copy in the artwork folder. Then too I never use iTunes to fetch artwork and I usually end up with artwork embedded in a file or two per LP (each embedded copy uses up more disk space). Now, I still use iTunes 7.5 and new versions may not behave exactly the same. If it was my version and I added artwork to a file it would embed it and it would transfer. It sounds like your artwork isn't embedded even if you are adding it the same way I would (I drag mine to the little arwork display box in the bottom left corner of my window, which apparently has vanished completely in iTunes 11).
You could try this for a file:
Script for embedding artwork - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=embedart
Just remember embedding artwork adds to each file size, so if you have 1000 files and you add 2 MB of high quality scans to each track you are taking up 2 GB more of drive space.

How to properly embed album art work into TV/Films itunes: home sharing lag

My setup is a simple apple home sharing network.
I have a mac mini running OS X 10.6.8 and itunes 11.0.4(4) it hosts a lot of music, DVD's that have been re-encoded and paid for content from itunes.
The mac mini is conntected to the network over a very good gigbit lan and has 4 apple TV3 (latest gen) hanging off the network, and multiple PC/Mac/ipod/ipad devices hanging off the network.
I connect to the itunes home sharing service with the apple TV service using the "remote" application on the ipad.
When I select Music/Albums TV Shows or Films from the menu of the itunes library the album art work loads (quickly) over the grey boxes as I scroll down. However this takes a few seconds for each "scroll" I do on the ipad (it has thousands of items in there).
The exception to the rule is any paid content, when I open Music/TV/Films menu on the ipad the paid content (especially for TV and Films) the artwork is already there, and doesn't have to load it.
How is the artwork for paid content contained differently than the artwork for content I've manually put into the itunes library.
If I look at the itunes library locally on the machine hosting the itunes data, the artwork is there straightaway, no loading, pull up the items info with "get info" and click on art work, the artwork is there, and I can see no different in the art work settings for paid content or for content I've manually updated/loaded an image for.
So why/how does the paid for content have artwork on the ipad the exact second I open it over the network, yet the non-paid for content take a few seconds per screen to load it.
Is there something different in how the art work is embeeded, or is it a caching setting ? whats the difference.

Dang You Autocorrect.
You don't saw what size and resolution the embedded artwork is. This could be part of the issue. Artwork on movies you purchase from the iTunes Store is 667x1000 at 72 DPI so if yours is larger than this is could be causing the delay.

Nas drive and no album art on the mac

I started all this buying a touch. Then a nas drive netgear nv+ then 1 mac mini then airport extreme and express. I started this itunes on a pc and still have a library 60 cd's on it that is loaded on the nas. I am loading about 4000 cd's on the nas and have started that now with the mac mini(100 more cd's). No artwork shows up and non of the other cd's I loaded on the nas from the pc show up either.
My end result is ti have two or three zones controllable by i phones or touch that have all the music available on the sound systems attached to expresses or mini mac's. I am told I have to have a computor attached to each zone-zone being something I can listen to different than another zone. The netgear nas says it can do this with itunes and I have firefly turned on the itunnes server. I love the touch interface as it is what I want to use. I sell high end audio for a living and need the good sound around the house-all aiff files please help as I have taken the apple plunge and do not want to return to pc
I want the album art to show up and all the albums to show up on any computor of touch or apple tv in the house and be able to play it's own thing.
Thanks

All of my MP3 files already have album art added to them, but even better would be for the Zen to use 'folder.jpg' in the folder of the album as WMP does, if that were possible. That would save the filesize of each file in an album having to be increased by having album art attached to every single one. But album art support in any form at all would be brilliant!

Small and big album art not matching

I bought an 5G iPod only ten days or so ago, and I have recently finished to transfer all my song database.
I'm seeing something strange happens with the album art. Sometimes I take a look on the screen, and it correctly displays the song info: artist, album, song title and also the small album pic are OK. But when I push the central button to see the enlarged album art, sometimes the album picture I see belongs to a different artist or album that I also have in my library. It also happens the other way around, i.e, if I display the big album pic and then I switch to the artist/title screen.
Does anyone know how can I fix this and why does it happen?
Thanks in advance
Edit: I have just seen that sometimes the work art displayed is plain wrong in both small and big sizes. I have checked on ITunes and the album art is looks fine there, though. Is it possible that something went wrong during my last iPod-iTunes sync?

yeah mine too, and i've tried re-setting it, and wiping it and re-sync ing etc,
still seems to do the same, and is generally rally annoying seeing how it is such a relatively useless feature, it would be nice if it at least worked...!
any ideas..?

How to access links in album art in iTunes 11?

In particular podcasts often have links in their album art. Clicking on it while the album art was shown in the lower left corner of iTunes 7(?) through 10 send you to a website with more info about the podcast or the particular song playing (what was linked to was up to the podcast producer).
In the album art mini-player (the only way to see the album art in a reasonable size), the links are no longer active in iTunes 11.

This is actually not accurate. You do not have to switch to the Artists tab to view artwork. When in the Playlist tab, there is a "View" pull down in the upper right corner of the screen. Click on it and select "Artist List" to change the view (similar to the format of the Artists tab mind you) to view the track artwork.
Take note that the "artist list" on the left side is like a side anchored column browser but the artwork shown here is not for the current album in the playlist, just the first cover iTunes finds under each particular artist (like in the Artist tab). (And another goofy design decision IMHO, why show artwork here at all?). The actually album/track artwork is on the playlist side. You also can't enable the full column browser in this view as it's tied to the default "List" view.
I don't necessarily prefer this new approch but wanted to clarify for others.

Album art errors.

After restoring my 30gb video iPod after it froze, I uploaded all my songs back on, but for some reason the mini album art comes up incorrectly, always displaying the same art for every song, but if I switch to full screen album art, it comes up with the correct art. I'll try doing another full restore tonight and see how it goes.

Hi guys,
I have the same problem. I updated my 1st. generation touch to 2.2 version and I’ve lost all my music . I started recovering and reading my music to the touch but surprise: album cover won’t work. Before the update everything was fine, now i can see the album cover in the Itunes but not on my IPod. I manually manage my music. It is very, very annoying. I searched, a possible solution to this problem, for a couple of hours on the internet and tried to find a fix in the Itunes, but nothing

Album Art in Zen Vision M / How did you do

This question is for those of you who have actually gotten the Album Art to show up in the Zen Vision M.
I have been trying to figure it out for 3 days straight and I need some serious. My firmware version is .0.0 is this the right firmware?
I have made an attempt with WMP 0 using the Advanced Tag Edit, and I can get the Album Art to show up in WMP "Now Playing" tab, but when I sync to my Vision M, the album art does not transfer into it. I have tried, manually dropping the album art in several directories, the root / album / and photo directories but the album art does not appear.
I have even tried RealPlayer and a few Album Art programs on this message board and I get the same results.
So can someone provide me some set by step instructions or give me a link to where those intructions might be?

Hello all:
I have an idea for those who are looking to add album art:
I have yet to see if it works with the Vision:M (mine will be here next week), but I used mediamonkey to add album art to my mp3 catalog (,200+ songs). Its easy to do and you can add art to an entire album of songs at one time. It uses Amazon's database for album art. As long as you have things properly tagged its completely automated (It took me ~.5 hours to ad album art to my entire collection). It will also ask you if you want the picture to be embedded in the id3 tag (which as far as I know you do for the Vision:M). Finally, mediamonkey is a great Mp3 management tool. Its free and you can get it at www.mediamonkey.com.

Removing Album Art From Zen V P

This being my first portable media player I've been experimenting. I managed to add some album art for one album via Creative Media Explorer. I think the full screen picture is good but I don't like the miniature picture which seems the default on the Now Playing Screen. It pushes too much text off-screen. I guess there's no way to remove the mini-picture and just retain the possibility of keeping the full screen picture. Also, I can't find a way to remove the album art. Media Explorer doesn't seem to offer this option. How can I get rid of the Album Art. Do I have to delete the whole album from the player and reimport it's
Thanks,
ZP

There's no way that I know of to remove album art from files on your player, but one of the easiest ways to remove art from files on your pc is to use Album Cover Art Downloader. You can have it located a folder and then select all and removae album art from all your files. Then you can re-transfer them back to the player.

Album art not showing up with recent update

With a recent iTunes update (10.2 or 10.2.1) suddenly the album art for a bunch of my music is not being detected anymore. This is album art that I've added to the files myself, and it's music not from iTunes Store. Other music of mine doesn't seem to be affected; it's only the music that I added album art myself. These songs were working just fine before the update, and still work in other programs. I'm having trouble determining specifically just what about the files is upsetting iTunes.

I'm having the same exact problem.
I've been reading up this morning on the different ways to correct this, and none of them work. Here's what I've tried:
- Manually add artwork to the album
- Advanced>Get Album Artwork
On older iTunes I'm getting the impression that you could go to your iPod/iPhone, click MUSIC, and then click something like "Allow/Enable (?) Album Artwork. Not finding it on iTunes 10.
Help!

5800 xpressmusic album art issue

got this phone yesterday and i have since transferred a bunch of music from my PC to my phone. however, only about 10% of all albums were able to automatically include the album art. alternatively, i had to manually add the album art for each album - provided if the album art could be found in the gallery. what's curious is that, when connected by usb to my PC, and because adobe photo starter pops up by default for any connected media device of mine, i could see that the album art images, which could not be found in the gallery (and hence unable to be manually added), were very well present somewhere in my phone. clearly, i have trouble locating them. furthermore, whenever i delete an album art image from my gallery, i can kiss the said album art goodbye from the album/music app too.
my questions are:
1) where are the album art images which are floating somewhere in my phone/memory card ie. how can i locate them?
2) is there a way whereby i can ensure that the album art covers would be automatically secured along the music i transfer, so i would not have to manually add album art covers to each and every album?
3) why does the fate of album art covers being automatically attached to the albums seem so random?
4) is there any one way to fix these issues?
for info's sake and if relevant, i use mass storage mode via usb.
all help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance!

1. Its embedded within the mp3 file.
2. By embedding them into the file
3. When you use iTunes (if you did not customize some settings) or the built in music browser, these mp3 files are simply linked to their corresponding album art. Once the mp3 or the album art's location is changed, the link is broken. However for embedded files, they are "inside" the mp3 file, like the tags we put for album and artist, etc, so they are taken with them.
4. I use TagTuner to embed my mp3's with album art.
